VV BINS FAQs

Where do we deliver?
We deliver to all suburbs on the Central Coast. We also service other areas such as Lower Mangrove, Glenworth Valley, Spencer, Berowra although additional delivery fees may apply for suburbs outside Gosford and Wyong Shire Councils.

Are there weight restrictions?Some companies out there will weigh the waste you place in a skip and charge you per weight. Luckily for you, we offer flat fees for the majority of our skip categories so you know what you’re paying straight up! We only specify that the waste needs to be below or level with the rim of the bin in accordance with NSW Road safety regulations.

Are there any additional fees?The rate you are given upon booking is the total price for hire, delivery, pick up and tipping.
The only time you will be charged additional fees is by overfilling the skip, having items in the skip that are not allowed (a detailed description of this can be found below and on your invoice/receipt) or for an extension of hire.
If you book a skip for “Special Waste” such as soil/fill, synthetic grass, palm tree trunks or asbestos tipping fees will apply in addition to the skip hire fee, please contact our office for more information.

How can I pay for the skip?We accept Cash on delivery of the skip or Credit Card payments over the phone.

How long is the hire period and what if I need it longer?Our standard hire period is for 7 days. If you need it longer please tell us at the time of your booking or call us before the scheduled pick up to arrange an extension & weekly rental charges may apply.
